Lone Pine Designs: Just a Note

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

Just a Note

Molly, over at Miss Molly Creations has challenged our blog group ~ Tangled Up in Creativity to make a very simple card...one sentiment or one picture only. If we use a picture we need to keep it simple - no detailed colouring...just a simple and classic card.

I have always loved this Just a Note stamp by PSX as it is interesting enough on it's own without adding pictures. The pink background paper has a slight glimmer to it which works perfectly with the silk ribbon. I stamped the "Just a note" onto the background paper and cut out the J and the ornate box that surrounds it and popped it up with a foam dot.
